I believe that the ADB cable supplies the on-off info to the monitor

Hello all,
I was just at my local Goodwill and found a few mac items (that usually don't have any). The most interesting two were the afore mentioned Applevision 750 and Apple Multiple Scan 17 monitors. I need some info on these monitors.
Specifically, do they have to be connected to a computer to power up? The Multiple Scan will power up and then shut right down while the Applevision 750 doesn't even try to power up. I can take my PB 3400 to test them, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a futile attempt.
Thanks

Randall, I experienced the same concern. When I attached the monitor to my Beige I had no response when I hit the power button on the monitor. However when I booted, the monitor came to life and worked fine. It also shuts down when the computer shuts down. I have the monitor plugged in separately from the computer as I don't have the special power cord that goes from the computer to the monitor. So the monitor must get the turn on command via the connector cable. Jerry
